Famous quotes containing the words speech and/or sound:
“Here we have the beautiful British compromise: a man can say anything, he mustnt do anything; a man can listen to anything, but he musnt be roused to do anything. By freedom of speech is meant freedom to talk about; speech is not saying-as-an-action.”
—Paul Goodman (19111972)
“All sound heard at the greatest possible distance produces one and the same effect, a vibration of the universal lyre, just as the intervening atmosphere makes a distant ridge of earth interesting to our eyes by the azure tint it imparts to it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
